Original Painting | Mother Earth | Crossing: 5.7 | 120 x 160 cm Framing Option:Natural Oak Floating Framed (+3cm) (5.5cm depth)Title: Mother Earth Paradox: The wisdom is the person, the person is the earth The Story I painted a figure that was not sitting ON the earth but sitting AS the earth. The green was not skin it was ground. The blue was not a belly it was water. The flowers were not decoration they were growth that happens when the boundary between body and world dissolves. Mother Earth is not outside. She is the body that remembers it was always made of soil. The

the surrounding field of yellow and green is granular and bright

Paradox: Everything is finished and nothing has started

The tree by the water was just standing there — finished

untested living

What makes my heart pump is no longer the excitement of gains or losses

Nobody could see the fight

I know now there was purpose in it

Two figures rest in the bush with no urgency and no weight

with flowing yellow and purple washes anchoring the composition

life is beautiful

Paradox: Peace can feel like completion

unburdened
